Coqui Calderón

Constancia Calderón de Augrain, also called Coqui Calderón, (Panama, 1937) is a Panamanian painter and visual artist who began her extensive professional career in the sixties. Coqui Calderón has not only made her contribution from canvas, sculpture, still life and screen printing, but she also collaborated in the founding of the Panamanian Institute of Art (Panarte), which in the 1980s became the Contemporary Art Museum. "In her latest paintings we see the integration and strength of women in the face of nature, represented in their real environment, intertwined with the mud flats and lianas of the humid tropics, the motifs that occupy the thought of this artist show the intimate fusion of woman and of nature, now in a harmonic interrelation in which the female figure is defined vertically and is the center of interest in a complex composition ".(our translation).
